What Is Fearless Writing?

From The New Yorker, Sept 2018

If you've ever enjoyed writing, if you've ever become lost within the dream of the story you're telling, then you've written fearlessly. Writing really only begins once we forget to be afraid. The question is not whether you will write fearlessly, but whether you will do so on purpose.

Fearless writing looks at the thoughts, beliefs, and misconceptions that frequently come between writers and their innate confidence. The better we understand why writing seems so hard one day and so effortless the next, why we sometimes hate what we had loved only the day before, the greater our command over the entire writing experience. You do not have to hope for good luck or a gracious muse to bring you a good day's work; it is available to you everyday if you know how to find it.
